Agree on pants, not on jacket.

frustrating because I wanted no break and this was how they came out. I think in order to do "no break" I actually need pants that are less tapered so the front is hitting a lower point on the shoe, if that makes any sense. With the smaller leg opening on these, the only way to achieve no break is to hem them this short.

I've since switched to just asking for a slight break since I prefer my pants to be tapered more than I prefer them to have no break.

But you'd have to protect your feet, so baller footwear would be in order.  After all, that's all you'd be spending your money on.  And maybe a baller loincloth.


if it's to be baller it should be a codpiece... a gilded, python-skin codpiece lined with Vicuna cashmere to keep your nuggets cozy! :lol:

ask the tailor for angled hems, so the back is a little lower than the front.

but, I think a little break looks best anyway, unless you're going for a super short, 60s Motown look.

This is a big improvement over the first fits you posted.

A short-sleeve shirt or polo would make it better still IMO. Long-sleeve button-ups don't look right with shorts.

Don't listen to Douchey McGee below me, the shorts are not too long by any standard and you don't look awkward at all (though lots of your early pics did).

I think the simplicity was the key. Also not wearing the cardigan.
